The Money System

Question

Hello and first off good day, I'm here because of a frustrating situation that is, in my opinion, something that is an inconvenience. The money system (from what i see) registers credit after the entire game during the final scoreboard section. I propose an idea that after each significant wave (mission waves) the money should be added to the players. Countless times have i played a fun and exciting 20 plus minute wave on gold/platinum only to have a problem with the connection* and end up with a sad expression and a wasted 20 plus minutes. Just today i was playing with some really nice people on gold as a warm up and it was close to 40 seconds left for extraction when i got an error saying 'Disconnected from Mass Effect Servers' and literally just wasted the entire game, equiptment and time. I'm hoping this is an easy fix for the talented people at Bioware who code such systems. I would greatly appriciate if my un-unique idea was taken to concideration,.

*Things where the connection is dropped for a slight time and all work is lost. Speaking for myself, i have a bad internet provider, it is common in third world countries, a slight de-sync knocks me out of the game, the slot is filled with someone else, and i cannot enter my friends' game. What's worse is i did just that by accident. I wanted to play a platinum game and clicked quick game, only to enter the final seconds of a game and earn lots of money without even earning more then 2000 points.

Thank you for reading this, i hope you to have a good and as always, take care.

Hello. I want to start off saying that I do not represent EA or BioWare or the opinions of any of their employees. I wanted to tell you why this is set up the way it is and why your idea most likely would be more hurtfull than helpfull. The main problem with directly granting credits after receiving them in the match is quitters. In my experience, most of the players fighting on Gold and Platinum are doing so to earn huge sums of credits. However, the way the system is currently set up, they have to fight all the way through the match until they either win or die. If they quit halfway though when they get what they want, they do not get the credits, meaning that quitters get nothing for abandoning the team they're playing with. If your suggestion was used, People would be quitting left and right once they got the early, easy credits.

I conpletely understand your situation and can sympathise. I have had bad connection and internet service in the past and can understand how you feel. I am sorry but I wanted to let you know why your idea more than likely wouldn't work.

Thanks for taking the time to voice your opinion though. Keep it up!

A great idea would be to separate those who leave the game, and those who've got an issue.

But here again you can easily simulate an internet disconnection ...

So it seems to be complicated to find another solution than the one which exist now.

Maybe a patch which fix something with the slow connection, I don't know.
